I came in from the outside
Burned out from a joy ride
She likes to roll here
In my ashes anyway
Played from the bedside
Is "Stella by Starlight"
That was my heart
The drums that start off
Night and Day
The same kind of music
Haunts her bedroom
I'm almost me again
She's almost you
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
Tell me who and I'll be thanking them
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
Do I owe each kiss to lip
And cheek as soft as Chet can sing
Let's get lost
And let the good times roll
Let smoke rings from this paper doll
Blow sweet and thick 'til
Every thought of it don't mean a thing
I got some colour back
She thinks so too
I laugh like me again
She laughs like you
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't mmm
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know
The very thought of you
And am I blue
A love supreme seems far removed
I get along without you
Very well some other nights
Oh the radio news reader chimes
Reporting Russian lullabies
She'll turn to me awake
And ask "Is everything alright"
And Lord
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
